Botox is well-known for its wrinkle-reducing abilities. Dermatologist Debra Jaliman, MD explains how these injections work in this video.
Botox is a muscle relaxer. So what it does is that it relaxes the muscle, and when the muscle relaxes, the wrinkles relax and the skin smooths out. But you understand that if you have a very deep wrinkle, you may still be left with a trace of a wrinkle.
